Oh, my high school pays for that, too. But I chose to join band instead. (And I wouldn't really get ridiculed, but I do have an inferiority complex so, yeah. Lol.) Drawing's more of a small hobby for me.
But I bet you could take it to a professional level. :3

Getting there. lol. Before I started I sucked so bad at drawing. Everyday I am improving. It's really cool.
